The Mantis is a premium folding knife handcrafted by Bartosz Herman of Herman Knives in Poland. Its design "story" is one of modernizing legendary blade profiles through high-end engineering and meticulous hand-finishing.

The Design Inspiration
The Mantis is built to be a modern tribute to the classic American Bowie knife. It translates the bold, "predatory" aesthetic of traditional frontier blades into a sleek, high-performance pocket knife.
